- Cactus2018 6y agoThat video make me feel unhinged. And reminds me of http://www.memo.tv/works/fight/ http://www.memo.tv/works/fight/ > FIGHT! is a Virtual Reality artwork where the viewer’s two eyes are presented with radically different images, resulting in a phenomenon known as binocular rivalry. The conscious mind does not ‘see’ both images, but unpredictably alternates between them with unstable, patchy transitions depending on the viewer’s physiology.
